Horrible Incidents.


Among tho horrible incidents of the Chatswo.
disaster the following are narratcd:
On the upper floor handsome woman, about
twenty years of age, stylishly dressed, Jay e1-
tended on couch. She was Miss Hattie Brenner,
Of Pennington, Ill, and was on her way to Nlaga-
"a Falls with several relatives. In the party was
q young man named Walters, also oil farmlngson,
and to whom abe was engaged to be married. DE
had been badly injured, and lay near her on ped
attended by couple of surgeons. While Miss
Bremen WIS physically unhurt by the wreck, yet
the fright snd knowledge of her lovers injuries
has rendered her insane.
In the depot at Chatsworth and in the unoccu-
pied store used as morgue, stretched out on the
floors, in different directions, wore the corpses Of
men, women and children, dressed in the clothing
in which they mad met their death. In the empty
store, in room 20 feet wide and 40 feet long,
were counted twenty-seven corpses st one tlme.
Their clothing was torn and dishegeled, and their
stiffeped hands and arms, in the majority OF In
stances, were crossed over their breasts. Ihe
heads of the dead were generally mangled in the
most frightful manner, and were always Covered
by some article of clothing. The face of young
woman who was lying on the floor OF the depot
had been 80 beaten in by the croel car timbers
that recognition was entirely out OF the question:
and her brains and the flesh of her face were a
pulpy mass, in which dabbled her long, red hair
She was not identified. A man with heavy
dark moustache, and who was apparently about
thirty-ive years Of age, had been struck in the
lace by some substance which had torn away his
Jaw and the side OF his face, leaving the throat
and the lower part of his face exposed
A ive.year-old boy, with chubby face and
carly hair looked contented and smiling. His
legs were not alone broken, but the flesh was so
mangled that it bore the appearance of raw beef.
His chest was crushed in, and his little body was
covered with bruises.
Nearly every corpse was mangled or disfgured.
The faces Of some of the dead were black, as
though they had died from sufocation, while
others were deadly white.

The GAZETTE is now the Oldest paper il
the State, and with few exceptions the old.
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS ofits existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror
Of passing events, and the careful chroni.
cling of the history of what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for OBJ
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part of the world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as we'll as
from every part of the habitable globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa.

Another feature that serves to make the
great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and Other
centres.
The local department furnishes a full and
complete history of everything that occurs
and near the city, and this feature will.

Bridgeton pioneer. (Bridgeton, N.J.) 1884-1919, 1887-09-15

The business heart of Bridgeton is
located about the four corners which
face Commerce and Laurel streets, and
here are found the most valuable busi
ness sites in the city. For three-quar-
ters of a century the Davis House, an
old time hostelry, stood solitary and
alone upon the finest plot of land in
this neighhorhood Its value was
known to many, but no one was able
to purchase while the veteran proprie-
tor Edmund Davis lived, or while later
on his son Chas. 0. Davis was in suffi-
cient health to run and manage it.
There came a time, however, when it
was no longer possible to continue the
business, then the Davis House passed
into the hands of jackson Briant. now
of the Briant House, Philada. He ran
it successfully, reaaltiring, therefron q
handsome competence. Inthe Spring
of 1886, after the people had decided
by vote that liquor should no longer
be sold in Bridgeton, Mr.. Briant de-
cided to sell the property, which he
shortly did, VIM. g. Nixon, ESQ.,, of
this city, becoming the purchaser for
the Cumberland National Bank. The

suggestions of our own, but were
drawn by Mr.. James E. Hicks, Bridge
tons we'll known architect. The en-
tire edifice is of brick. The front is OF
Chester pressed brick, with brown
stone trimmings On the North end a
fine piaster starts from the ground
and ends in a handsome tower OF
elegant design. On the South end
there is a similar pilaster starting where
the second story begins, eliminating
in a smaller tower of fine proportions.
The main windows are French plate
glass, set in fancy wood work deco
rated with the finest quality of ftosted
Cathedral glass, the fine transoms over
the doors also being of the same ma
terial. There is brown stone block
in the centre of the front, between the
first and second stories, bearing the
words -"Pioneer Building" in sunken
letters. In the brown stonearch over the
hallway door appears the words 1.-THE
Pioneer" ''1S4s." ''1SS7.n This inscrip-
ton is cut in similar manner. The cave
is splendidly designed and ornamented,
with series of terraces, finished in
galvanized iron. The main tower has
Bridgeton pioneer. (Bridgeton, N.J.) 1884-1919, 1887-09-15

a slate roof, and is surmounted by a
small spire.
The interior of the building is even
handsomer than the exterior The
first floor is divided into two distinct
buildings, as it were, by a solid brick
wall, nine inches thick. On the South
side there is fine store twenty feet
front by eighty feet deep. The NoTth side
is occupied by the PIONEER as bust
ness department. In the cozy front room
there is a private business office, and
counter at which advertisements, SUBJ
scriptions, orders for job printing, and
other business pertaining to the
Office will be transacted. The counter
is of ash and poplar, one of the finest
to be found anywhere. The press
room Immediately in the rear of the
business department, is a large airy
room, sixty feet long and twenty feet
wide. 1t has solid hard pine floor
laid upon bed of cement, which
makes it hard as rock On this the
two PIONEER presses the Campbell"
and the Acme are placed, also the
Stonemetz folder, and the, Universal
jobbers" beside the six horse power
steam engine manufactured by Cox g.
Sons, which runs the entire machinery
of the establishment. There is a
boiler room attached to the press
room,in which there is a fifteen horse
power boiler which furnishes steam
for bo\h business and heating pur-
poses. The walls and ceilings of the

BRIDGETON, N J., THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER IS. 1887.

entire first floor are finished in sand,
with the exception of the press room
which is sheathed with hard pine cell
ing. A stairway and elevator connect
the press room with the composing
room in the second story.
The second floor is divided into four
handsome apartments. Entrance is
obtained by a broad open stairway
from Laurel street, which opens into
large hall. At the south end of the
hall is the law Office of Walter H. Bacon,
ESQ.,, and the Office of the Rosenhayn
Brick Manufacturing Company. The
composing room is on the west side of
the hall sixty feet in depth and twenty
feet in width. 1t is large, roomy and
has plenty of good light. From the
hall facing Laurel street is the edito-
rialroom, fine apartment, eleven feet
in width, by twanty-three in length.
The walls and ceilings of the second
floor are also sand finished. except the
composing room which is white coated.
The third story is taken up entire as
the hall of Bridgeton Castle, No. 13,
Knights of the Golden Eagle. En-
trance to this splendid room is by a
rualn staircase, up two flights OF stairs
adorned with balustrade in walnut,
ash and poplar There are three fine
ante rooms connected with the Lodge
room, and a private apartment where
the secret work is kept. The audience
chamber is twenty seven feet by fifty
seven, and when finished, it now being
in the hands of Claude Scull, the
fresco painter and decorator, will be
the grandest hall in this end of the
State.
The interior woodwork is of white
pine, finished in oil, and presents a
beautiful appearance. The second
and third story front windows have
Fhard wood blinds, finished in oil.
The painting and decorating is being
exceeded by Chas. R. Scull, John P.
ShawS & Co., and Z. B. Woodruff,
each tirm doing portion, all in a
skinfR manner. The building is fit
ted throughout with gas, water, and
steana fixtures. Martin Anderson did
the plumbing for the water and steam,
and mas furnished splendid fixtures,
and done first class work 3oanson 4
Hancock did the tin work, and gas
plumbing, and did them well. The
foundation walls were laid in Chester
stone by that excellent workman
Lemuel johnson, and the plasterine
by S. Overdorf and son, two of Bridge
tons best masons. All the work on
the building was done by Bridgetor

in JAIL AT LAST
Cedarville Robbers Caught
at Last.

Cedarville is more fortunate than
Bridgeton in securing the arrest of the
thieves who have been doing such bad
work there, and Monday Doc"
Charles Bateman was lodged in Jail
charged with assisting Robt Corson in
robbing the store of P. p. Phillips of
that place.
These robberies have been going Oh
for some time, and the fellows have
always been successful in eluding CAP
ture until this, their last attempt. The
night in question was last week, and
over 800 worth of goods were taken
from the store A detective was put
upon the case, and on Saturday Robert
Corson was arrested and charged with
the robbery and committed to jail.
Yesterday DOC" was arrested, and
his own confusion was sufficient to
have him committed, and to-day he is
with the resting score who are in Jail
awaiting the action of the Grand Jury
of the October term of Court.
Bateman is one of the dudish young
men who feels injured when his name
is connected with anything wrong,
but at all times he is into some rascal
ity. He has been in State Prison for
a year, and is likely to get there again.
Only short time ago he ran off with
500 dollar bill and was arrested and
lodged in Jail for the crime. He has
now about come to the end of the
rope, and next month the people
Cedarville will be glad to hear of his
safe landing in State Prison.
Corson has not the bad reputation
of Bateman. but it seems as if the evil
dence pointing to his guilt is very
strong. Justice F. P. Riley, of this
city, committed Bateman on yester-
day in default Of bail. His plea was
that he had only received portion of
the stolen goods, but did not partici
pate in the actual robbery.
